Re: [boost] [property] interest in C# like properties for C++?

I have implemented a prototype support for properties in C++. It has no space overhead as it manages to deduce the this pointer of the class owning it.

The trick used is the following:

//Find offset of member relative to my_class size_t offset=size_t(&((my_class*)0)->x);

That's derreferencing a null pointer. Its probably what the offsetof macro does anyway, which by the way is restricted to PODs.

Not supported yet: indexed properties operator overloads for properties, e.g. my_class.property*my_class.property will currently fail.

Overloading operators for a property is important, I think its what makes it a "C++ Property". Keep the good work going! Agustín K-ballo Bergé.-
